Name of sokn osv for Bakke farm in Nerheimsdalen

[dn35567]

I am trying to follow up with some information in the book "Historie om Udvandringen fra Voss og Vossingerne i Amerika", by K. A. Rene, published in Madison, WI in 1930.

On page 511, it states:


"John Anderson Draugsvold kom til Amerika in 1861 med familie...

De havde børnene:....Anders, født i 1847, død i 1920, gift i 1875
med Guri Bakke fra Nerheimsdalen, som kom paa samme skib i 1861...."

I am trying to locate a ship register for this 1861 ship and I am trying to locate which sokn, prestegjeld og kommune the Bakke farm in Nerheimsdalen is located in so that I can find the birth record of Guri Bakke. Other sources point to her father having the name of Abraham and that she was born in sept 1853.

Takk så mye - De kan skrive på norsk,

John

Takk, Astrid

Yes, this is the family that I am researching.

Thanks so much for sending this.

Med vennlig hilsen,

Thanks so, so much, Sverre ~

Yes, this is the family -- I greatly appreciate your finding this record and sending me the link.

This is an important breakthrough for us. I went to check the death record of the daughter Guri this morning and it did not have either her maiden name or her parents's names, so your find of the birth record helps up enormously.

Tusen Takk!

Med beste hilsen,

John
